42 Best Vegan Restaurants in San Carlos

“I ate at Pazzo on Wednesday and had a great experience. The restaurant is take out only. I ordered at the restaurant instead of on the phone. The staff were super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The order took about 20 minutes and we had a drink outside while waiting. I HIGHLY recommend the shrimp and grits. Over anything else on the menu! And I was told the gnocchi was amazing too iAnd of course the pizza is awesome!“

“Friendly people and good food.“

“delicious pastrami sandwiches🤤“

“Absolutely delicious!
Everything we tried was incredibly fresh and flavorful. The ingredients tasted high-quality, and the portions were generous. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent — friendly, attentive, and fast. Highly recommend this place for anyone who enjoys Mediterranean food!“

“Great place to get together with friends & family. We had about 30 people for a family get together. Service was great. The outdoor patio was the perfect setting! Most of the food was outstanding. We are actually from Hawaii so we’re very critical about the food.“

“We love this place! Saffron offers the best North Indian food in the area (San Carlos / San Mateo) in a warm, welcoming setting.

The food quality is top-notch; our favorites include Lahsooni Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta, and the Aloo Kulcha on the weekend brunch menu. Parking can be a bit tough especially on weekend evenings, but it's worth it!“

“Love this place so much! Some of the best tacos I've had in quite a while. I got 3 tacos. 2 al pastor and 1 asada. The meat is fresh and the right amount of flavor and the salsa on the tacos are perfect. What's nice is they also have a salsa bar where you can get a bag of ships and different salsas. Definitely going back again“

“Great breakfast Good quality and good prices!!“

“A place that values quality and source of ingredients“

“food and service is superb! number 1“

“awesome“

“We come to this restaurant regularly and it never disappoints. We were there again for Thanksgiving with a group of friends, and it was perfect as always. They offered their regular menu along with a Thanksgiving special. The turkey was outstanding: perfectly cooked, flavorful, and incredibly moist.
Everything here is consistently delicious, with a great range of options, and the prices remain very reasonable (which has become rare these days!). The food, the atmosphere, the service and the reliability keep us coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Great food but expensive. It was a great treat for me. I did enjoy it.“

“A lovely white tablecloth setting. Great service and delicious food. A lot like Wings in San Jose which is out of business now😭. So yes I love that we found King Chuan Restaurant 😍“

“Customized my bagels, which was the good thing about this. Place is small and like a mom and pop kind of bagel place. Someone takes your order and delivers it to you while you wait. The place is tight and 1-2 tables outside and a little bench inside. Bagels were good though after customizing it to how I want! Instead of everything bagel I think they called it all in one. Still good and filling. Had to get latte elsewhere but worth it for a quick pick me up.“

“Vriendelijke bediening, grote porties en heerlijke gerechten. Zeer mals vlees, een echte aanrader!“

“amazing food wonder staff“

“Best Thai place i have been too! Great food and even better owners!!“

“good Italian ice cream so good“

“Fresh and tasty! Don’t forget it’s healthy, too! Highly recommend!“

“Best place to go after the holidays, nice service, excellent food and very tasty wine …“

“Always great food & service! Clean, friendly & fresh food! Thank you again!🤗♥“

“Delicious food, quiet atmosphere, attentive staff. We went on a cold rainy weeknight, so the Tomato/Basil soup really hit the spot. The sole has a nice texture and cooked just right. The seared sole has a slight crispness on the outside and soft flakiness inside. We will definitely be back.“

“Great food, drinks and service!“

“Good breakfast and coffee“

“Yummy vegan flavors: today I had a combo of pear/Riesling & pineapple/hibiscus 🌺 Melinda is one of the sweetest ladies I’ve ever met! Let’s us take our time & gives us samples til we’ve decided. The shop is so blessed to have her.“

“Fantastic restaurant with a unique food offering of authentic Georgian food. Recommend their khachapuri and their lamb kebab. We tried their Pkhali Spinach which is an acquired taste and the beef khinkali dumplings, which had good flavor.

We also tried the assortment of drinks from the traditional Georgian soda (pear and tarragon flavors) and the mixed berry compote. The tarragon tastes like fennel/licorice.

We wanted the Chakpuri, but they stopped selling it when we arrived at 6:30, since they had run out, so make sure you arrive early to try it!

Please note that the food does take a while to arrive. We waited 30 minutes for food, but the staff are very nice and the owner spends a lot of time and effort in ensuring quality food. Generally, there is plenty of space and never too full, but they do take reservations.

Note that the restaurant is rather pricey, but it is well worth.“

“Fantastic night! Enjoyed Sema and her hospitality tremendously!“

“We discovered Yan's a year ago and have been coming back ever since.

Yan's has a laidback, family-owned feel. The service is friendly, and I feel taken care of when I walk in.

The portions are generous so expect leftovers. The salt and pepper fried pork and the sticky rice cakes for dessert are my favorites every time.“

“We visited Siamese kitchen yesterday for dinner. Spring rolls were good not oily. Pad kee maw was spicy and flavourful. Coconut ice cream was good too. The dishes were a little pricey but may be because of inflation.Overall service was quick and good,tasty food and nice ambience.“

“Sarahi somehow manages to educate you on the menu, ensure a clean table, and communicates your wishes for the perfect meal to the cooking team all while giving you a welcoming smile. Something about a perfect swirl froyo afterward makes this experience beyond satisfactory. The City of Good Living is lucky to have this gem with such a kind staff.“

“Fun people watching spot for casual meals/bites in the heart of Laurel! Can’t wait to try all of the gelato flavors.“

“I love momos , fried corn , noodles & fried rice ...“

“Good counter service option on Laurel Street. We’ve eaten here a few times. It’s good in that I like a few specific menu items that we tend to reorder and they are consistently enjoyable. Ambiance/location is great and good for bringing friends or visitors for a casual bite before or after strolling Laurel Street“

“Watched an NBA game, college basketball ?, and Olympics on two different big screens. Good volume, not too loud. Amazing pizza as always, best crust. Clean, fast, great beer selection. Great way to end an evening of adventures with my son.

Parking: Short walk from available street parking on El Camino Real. My understanding is there is a good sized lot in the back but never needed to go there.“

“Amazing tea with great variety! Accidentally stumbled across this place, have returned since, and am never disappointed! The milk tea boba is great, but the Super Fruit green tea with passion fruit popping boba is next level. The fresh fruit slices mixed in with the tea are a refreshing surprise and the fruit is always ripe and delicious. I tried the grapefruit fruit tea today as well which hit the spot! Would definitely recommend checking out Tea Juice!“

“The best pizza on the peninsula 💯 I am a big fan of Blue Line Pizza. I hope their restaurant will expand statewide!
Their deep-dish pizza was just amazing. The addictive texture of the cornmeal pizza dough can only be found here!
We visited last night. The two ladies' table services were great, especially the Asian girl, who was just amazing. We wish we could come back to have more different flavors 😊“

“Simply the best pho on the Peninsula! This is a very casual restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere and staff and a video screen that shows authentic food preparation scenes from Vietnam. The service can at times be a little overwhelmed, because at dinner times they tend to be a little busy. But they are always pleasant and the food is fantastic and a good value at today's prices.“

“Always like a place where the windows open up to the street, and there are a couple tables in front on the sidewalk you could use with your pup. The decor is simple but nice. The service a bit on the slow side, but nothing to complain about assuming you're not in a hurry. Food is very good and flavorful. But being Burmese don't expect your pad thai to be like in Thailand (here it is a little sweeter), nor your curry like India (not as spicy). We came for lunch midweek, and it is a bit expensive for lunch (because all they serve is off the same menu used for dinner). So your better value may be dinner. Our bill was $60 for two without tip or any alcohol.“

“comidas deliciosas 😋 estou com saudades“
